Bank of America just won't stop.
The New York Post reports this morning that in just the first few months of 2009, Bank of America added 15,000 jobs to its workforce in India. This is after Bank of America cut 34,000 jobs in the US, and pledged to cut 35,000 more.
Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis just doesn't get it. It's time for taxpayers to call for him to go.
More than 20,000 people have already signed "taxpayer proxy cards" asking for CEO Ken Lewis to be fired and to reform Bank of America. Can you help us reach 30,000 in the next 48 hours?
When CEO Ken Lewis was asked about the nearly 35,000 announced job cuts, he showed little care for his employees:
"I feel bad about firing people, but at least I have the courage to do it."
This is the same Ken Lewis who took home $35 million in compensation in the last two years, and the same Bank of America that may receive up to $199.2 billion in taxpayer dollars.
You'd think they'd have some semblance of responsibility to the American public. After all, it's our government's money that's helping keep Bank of America alive.
Think again.
Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis is apparently only interested in his personal bottom line, and not that off his company, his employees, or his investors. It's time for him to go.
Thanks for all you do - and please pass this message on to your friends to help us reach our goal.
